Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! We all hate losing—especially to our rivals. But there's one enemy we all share that feels unbeatable: death. In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Alan explores the moment when God stepped in and did the impossible—defeating death through the resurrection of Jesus. Death is no longer undefeated. Jesus has won, and that victory changes everything. The question is: Do you know Him?Video that Alan mentions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzR6Jpt8UZs For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-4-20-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Digital Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046802 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In Acts 5, the apostles face serious opposition for preaching about Jesus, yet they remain boldly obedient. Why? Because they knew they weren't alone. Jesus was with them. This message explores what gives us the courage to follow Jesus when it costs us something—reputation, relationships, even comfort. The answer is simple but powerful: Jesus is with you. Whether you're doing what's right, explaining your faith, or facing rejection for living like Jesus… He is with you. Always. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-4-12-13-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Journey With Us Through Holy Week--Begins Sunday https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046758 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! As we continue our journey through the book of Acts, we encounter a powerful—and sometimes controversial—dynamic in the early church: miracles. In Acts 5, we see astounding signs and wonders as the kingdom of God advances through healing and deliverance. But what do these miracles mean for us today? Should we expect the same now? In this message, we wrestle with the mystery of healing, explore the role of spiritual gifts, and consider how God might be working uniquely in our cultural moment—bringing emotional and spiritual healing in deep, transformative ways. Join us as we lean into Jesus and His desire to bring wholeness to our lives and our world. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-4-5-6-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Mark Your Calendar for a Special Good Friday Service https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046711 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service!As the early church grew, one key dynamic set them apart—radical generosity. In this message, we explore how a community once gripped by fear became a bold, Spirit-empowered movement marked by unity, grace, and outrageous giving. From Barnabas' inspiring example to the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira, we see both the beauty and the seriousness of generosity in God's kingdom. All these examples lead us to ask ourselves: what kind of heart shifts can unleash this same contagious generosity in us today?For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.orgFor Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-3-29-30-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdfBaptism Weekend Returns!

 Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! Ever sat down to pray, hoping for something powerful… and instead felt nothing but silence? In this message from Acts 4:23-31, we explore how the early church approached prayer—not as a private duty, but as a bold, communal act that unleashed God's power. Together, they found strength, shifted their focus, and stepped out with fearless boldness. If you've been longing to see God move—this message is for you. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org Serve 6.8: https://youtu.be/Zd_HfotJ2z4 For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-3-22-23-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Have You Made Easter Plans?✞

 Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What made Jesus the most influential person in history? And how did His small group of followers grow into a movement that changed the world? In this message, we dive into Acts 4, where Peter and John face resistance from powerful leaders after boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus. Their response? Not anger or fear—but calm confidence, courageous clarity, and unwavering allegiance to Christ. Join us as we explore what it means to stand firm in faith, even in the face of opposition. How do we respond when our faith is challenged? The answer might surprise you. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-3-15-16-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Celebrate Inclusion Weekend with Us This Sunday! https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046536 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! The kingdom of God isn't just for Sunday mornings—it's meant to move into everyday life! In Acts 3, we see how two ordinary Jesus-followers, Peter and John, step into a divine moment simply by seeing, blessing, and sharing the good news with someone in need. This message challenges us to shift our mindset and embrace the everyday opportunities we have to bring God's love, hope, and restoration to those around us. What if advancing the kingdom is as simple as slowing down, seeing people, and stepping into what God is already doing? For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-3-8-9-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf New Workshop Coming in March - Register Today! https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046490 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What if church isn't just a place you go, but a powerful, life-giving movement? Many people today see church as irrelevant or even harmful—but what if that's far from God's vision? In this message, we explore Acts 2 and the birth of the church, discovering what it truly means to be God's ecclesia—a gathering of people advancing His kingdom. We'll see how the early church was devoted to Jesus' teaching, deeply connected in community, radically generous, and expectant in prayer. Join us as we rediscover the beauty and purpose of the church and why it still matters today! For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-3-1-2-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Did you know we have a podcast?

Each week at Christ Community Church, we feature stories of what God's doing in the lives of the people who make up our church family - the story of how they came to faith in Jesus, the story of how God's currently growing them in grace, or even the story of how they are taking their faith outside and meeting needs in our community. This week, Tucker Keene, a lifelong member of Christ Community and a freshman at Collins High, shares his journey of overcoming a torn ACL that derailed his basketball season. Facing surgery, grueling rehab, and moments of self-doubt, Tucker turned to prayer and journaling, witnessing God's faithfulness every step of the way. His experience reshaped his identity beyond sports and inspired him to lead Bible studies with his peers, proving that even our hardest setbacks can become stepping stones to greater purpose and spiritual growth.

 Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! Some moments change everything. A few simple words can shift the entire trajectory of your life—You're hired. You're cured. We're pregnant. In Acts 2, thousands experienced a catalytic moment when Peter spoke just a few words: "This Jesus of Nazareth…" In an instant, they saw the truth—they had been waiting for the Messiah, and He had come. But they had crucified Him. Yet, this was not a moment of condemnation, but of rescue. Jesus, the firstfruits of new life, had conquered death and poured out the Holy Spirit, offering freedom and hope. The same truth that changed lives on that day continues to change lives today. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, everything shifts. What if today is your moment? For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-2-15-16-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Make Breakfast Plans for THIS Saturday!

"We want a name. What do we want to build something? We want a name. What do we want to build? Whose name do we want? To be receiving glory. So I need these maturation processes in me to get me ready. So we needed, I think, to fall Right, you will be, to realize the eternal purposes. We needed a maturation process, and that maturation process seems to be sin and death, to enter a fallen place and every myth and every secret story has this. You need to fall into Sheol, you need to go down into the depths, and then you'll be able to fulfill your mission and participate in eternity."The writer of the letter to the Ephesians draws his readers into a sacred calling. It is an invitation into a divine temple building project called, "the body of Christ." It is one way to describe the deep secret, the spiritual purpose behind "Christ-Community" and sparks a lengthy and rich conversation between Jonah and Patrick that covers much of the entire territory of sacred scripture and divine anthropology.The first attempt by humanity to build a temple to heaven in a united project was the Tower of Babel. Why did God thwart this effort? What does it mean that humanity was seeking "a name" for itself in this project? And what all does this have to do with us now? These questions, and much more, are taken up in this episode.PLEASE NOTE: The audio in this episode is extremely eratic; the microphone on Patrick was accidentally set too high and our audio engineers were on Christmas vacation - we apologize sincerely for the unpleasantness this all may cause in the listening!Support the showMany thanks to Camilla Lake for show notes and Podcast/Patreon production and communications.

Loneliness is not good for your health! It can really weigh on you. You can be around people, busy at work with others & living in a busy community… but you can still be “lonely in a crowd.” God starts the Bible with talking about the importance of community. God created us because he loves us & wants to share His community with us.  Join us Sunday as we learn what true “Christ Community” is all about.

 If we as followers of Jesus are going to avoid the perils of misguided zeal, then let us prayerfully remember that God-honoring zeal needs the guardrails of mature wisdom, close knit local church community, a teachable spirit and all of us need personal accountability.Jehu's story reminds us we are looking for a new and better king. A king who is both perfectly righteous and just. A king with a perfectly pure heart and a perfectly harnessed zeal. At the cross, as Jesus died for your sin and mine,  justice and mercy met at the cross. The good news of the Gospel is that forgiveness and new life is offered to each one of us when we in repentance and faith embrace Jesus as our Messiah, our Savior and Lord.2 Kgs. 9:1-13 // Tom NelsonKey Takeaways• Jehu's actions were praised by God in some ways, but not in others• True devotion to God goes beyond outward appearances• Our motivations matter more than our actionsRelated SearchesKing Jehu of Israel, Baal worship, Following God with all your heartSERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49277989PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new24.06.30

Romans 8:28-30 // Ben BeasleyWe've been in this series Romans: For Life, where we've learned from the Apostle Paul, Rabbi Paul, that we aren't just saved from eternal evil but we are saved for something else: we are saved for eternal glory and for God's good Spirit-filled work in our lives. Paul's confidence is rooted in who he understands God to be. Paul is rooting his confidence not just in the happening of this, but in the God who is in sovereign control of all the happenings of the universe. When we embrace faith in Jesus we are God's children. And we are co-heirs with Christ. Meaning we have the same inheritance as Jesus.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49257653PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new24. 05.19

Romans 8:26-27 // Nathan MillerWhen was the last time you were left speechless by grief, disappointment, loneliness, frustration?Maybe you paced aimlessly: I just don't know what to say. Maybe you struggled to know how to express your feelings, or maybe you even struggled to know what exactly it was you were feeling! Maybe you didn't know what to pray, or how to pray, or even feel like you could pray. What are we supposed to do when we no longer have words?Paul's answer might surprise you. Because it's less about what we do and more about what God does. What God is already  doing. Even when all we can do is groan, God reminds us that: We never groan alone.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49254182PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.05.12

Romans 8:18-25 // Nathan MillerOur world and our lives are in labor. And it hurts. The suffering, the agony, the tears. The trauma and the drama. But our groaning will one day give birth to glory. And somehow it will all have been worth it. Do you believe that?Now God doesn't say our sufferings don't matter, that our sufferings aren't real, that we're just a bunch of wimps and should get over it. No. It's not that our sufferings are so insignificant. It's that the glory that is coming is just so great. So immense. That it's not even worth comparing.God sees you. And He never minimizes our pain. Nor does He promise us a life without pain. What God promises, is a way through the pain.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49247178PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.05.05

Romans 8:18-25 // Brent NelsenGod's kingdom isn't fully here on earth yet. The picture of Isaiah 11, of a restored creation, is not yet a full reality. But we've been given a taste, and it makes us crave more.  When I look around I see violence and discord and hatred. I see creation in subjection and decay. But I know what's coming, and I know because I've had a foretaste. I see God at work renewing the broken pieces in my life. I see him at work restoring relationships around me. I see it in my community group when we experience the joy of gathering together as God's people. I see it in miraculous answers to prayer requests. And I see it in creation. Every spring, the trees bud, and flowers push through the frozen ground. Everything begins to turn green, and the earth comes back to life. Springtime for me is a yearly visual reminder that God brings life from death. That's the hope that we have as followers of Jesus.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49243655PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new24. 05.05

Romans 8:12-17 // Jonathan Neef We have left God, abused his grace and run after things and idols we thought would bring happiness and belonging. But while we were a long way off God ran after us, hugged us, kissed us, and welcomed us home. He has clothed us and thrown a party for us. We are no longer prodigal sons and daughters. We are no longer slaves of unrighteousness. We are welcomed home as children of God. We are back in the family with a full and rich inheritance.God loves you. He is for you. He has gone to great lengths to rescue you. He calls you his own and has gifted you with a great inheritance. Please don't leave here today without seeing the great love God has for you.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49247180PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.04.28

That we are forgiven, we are loved, but it also declares welcome home!  We are extravagantly welcome home — not because our sin isn't real, heinous, or deserving of exclusion — but because our older brother, Jesus, paid for our sin on the cross. He took all the judgment you and I deserved so that we might receive all the blessings.

Romans 8:1-5 // Jonathan NeefI believe this is the best news you can hear. But I struggle to remember and believe that myself. My assumption is that there are at least three types of people in this room. Those that do not find this as great news because we don't think we are actually bad enough to deserve condemnation in the first placeThose that believe this is good news but we forget about it and live as if it does not matterAnd those that do not find this to be good news because we don't believe it could be true. We have messed up too much. We are too big of failures. We know our brokenness and it is too great. This means that this morning we have our work cut out for us.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49240077PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.04.14
